I think it makes sense to skip the bounce buffering as you do here:
the only standardized way we have for integrating that part is to
use the swiotlb infrastructure, but as you mentioned earlier that
part is probably too resource-heavy here for Amiga.

I see two other problems with your patch though:

a) you still duplicate the cache handling: the cache_clear()/cache_push()
is supposed to already be done by dma_map_single() when the device
is not cache-coherent.

b) The bounce buffer is never mapped here, instead you have the
virt_to_phys() here, which is not the same. I think you need to map
the pointer that actually gets passed down to the device after deciding
to use a bouce buffer or not.
